I’ve toyed with the idea over the last year about possibly
moving away from using Next.js for my website. A recent
post on Mastodon from Zach Leatherman gave me a little bit more of a push.
Over the last week and a half, I've been starting to play around with
Astro again. I had built a good bit of my site in it a while back, but then decided just to re-jigger my Next.js site. Reading and listening to some podcasts has brought me back to starting over.
Between a weekend trip and my site update, this has been 3 weeks in the making. This log we look at the passing of a folk legend, Microsoft reverting to its old ways, Microsoft facing a hurdle in its Activision acquisition, some chatty parrots, and more.
I've been tweaking my site here and there and the one thing I recently did was change how I populate my '
likes' page. Previously I had been doing it manually, but recently after having listened to the founder of
Feedbin on the
Changelog Podcast, I decided to try something different. I wanted to use a nice feature Feedbin has to make the page better.
A little bit of everything this week from new features coming to .NET and Next.js, to working from home, and prediting the future.
I've been using Jekyll to run this blog for the better part of the last six years. But recently, I've been giving serious consideration to switching to Gatsby or Next.js.
